Studying the electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), which are widely spread as substitute for traditional tobacco product is an important aim. This product differs from traditional product by absence of burning process, and it is consumed by inhaling aerosol formed by heating tobacco or liquid, containing nicotine. Monitoring of electronic nicotine delivery systems’ market is carried. Principles for classifying new product as separate category of tobacco goods are elaborated. Classification for ENDS is offered. Physical properties of single use ENDS and liquid composition are defined. “Method for machine smoking of single use electronic smoking systems and collecting its TPM and gas phase of smoke with linear smoking machine CERULEAN SM 405” was elaborated. Physical properties of reusable ENDS are defined. ENDS product is fine aerosol formed by heating. Absence of standard international regulations on nicotine containing products and methods for control of its aerosol content leads to utilizing different machine smoking protocols. Machine smoking protocols for tobacco products are presented. After researches absence of carbon monoxide in gas phase of single use and reusable ENDS is found. This proves absence of burning process. The last generation of reusable ENDS is innovative tobacco product which is heated – electric system for heating tobacco (ESHT) which completely differs from traditional tobacco products. ESHT consuming is based on tobacco heating without its burning or combustion. As the result it is possible to decrease content of harmful and potentially harmful aerosol compounds and conserve adequate to consumers levels of taste. Further studies will be aimed at defining ESHT potential for decreasing health risks compared to traditional cigarettes.
